This is an exciting opportunity to play a central part in expanding our psychologically informed weight management service to incorporate more consultation and group offers to our client group.

As a psychologically led service, we focus on lifestyle behaviour change, in addition to a new digital and group offers to patients we want to provide trauma informed 1:1s for patients where appropriate. Playing a consultative role to other members of our multi-disciplinary team, you will need to take a positive approach to your work to engage with others.

You'll enjoy developing your supervision skills when supporting our weight management advisors with their core weight loss messaging.

Contributing to the development of consultative/ systemic approaches to support patients in their weight loss journeys, perhaps working with families and carers.

Your enthusiastic and creative approach to your work along with a commitment to making Tier 3 services more accessible will be more relevant perhaps that already having experience with obesity.

You'll need to be familiar with health behaviour change models and be accustomed to or open to working with different care providers including public health services, acute hospital colleagues and those working in associated eating disorder and mental health services.
